Spring Valley Restaurants

A little bit of a hole in the wall and a seriously good find, Herbs & Rye is a surf and turf kind of place with dishes like Filet Sliders, Spicy Mussels, Pan Seared Salmon, and Bone in Pork Chops on the menu. It's also a place you can go just for the drinks—their handcrafted, classic-based cocktail menu is extensive and features drinks by the era (Gothic Age, Golden Age, Old School Age, Prohibition, and so on).

This new-ish local raw bar is already known for fresh oysters (delivered daily) and the non-traditional sauces they’re served with (wasabi cocktail, pickled peppers and habañero, and blood orange and mint). The entire raw menu is great: try the Big Eye Tuna with roasted beets and avocado or the Sashimi Salad with thyme and honey. They also serve excellent classic deviled eggs and a perfect organic roasted chicken. And while there’s a healthy wine list, don't miss their creative, well-crafted cocktails.
